you can use while loop contains swipe function and set in your condition to check if element appear Ex : While (driver.findElements(By.id(“your\_id”)).size()==0){ size = driver.manage().window().getSize(); int starty = (int) (size.height \* 0.80); int endy = (int) (size.height \* 0.20); int startx = size.width / 2; System.out.println("starty = " + starty + " ,endy = " + endy + " , startx = " + startx); driver.swipe(startx, starty, startx, endy, 3000); Thread.sleep(2000); driver.swipe(startx, endy, startx, starty, 3000); Thread.sleep(2000); } once your element appear while will be stop and you can execute your action on it 🙂 i hope this help you ---

@Bilal_Jarwan swipe function already deprecated from the 1.6.5 version onwards.so this function is not going to work.For swiping you have to use the TouchAction class. ---

Basically UiScrollable and UiSelector are the classes of android. You just need to enter element’s text to scroll up to that element. driver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator(“new UiScrollable(new UiSelector()).scrollIntoView(text(“Enter your element”))”); ---

So you switchdriver webview and you want then to grab element and scroll, is it possible by UiAutomator? ---

Here is an example using (x,y) coordinates TouchAction ts = new TouchAction(driver); ts.press(207, 582).moveTo(8, -360).release().perform(); ---

Working, but how you come across those numbers(coordinates)? Is there any more sophisticated way of scrolling when dealing with webview? ---

Hey you can try this one ,works for me for an app devloped in react native. I hope the comments will help you . public void scrollUp() throws Exception { // Get the size of screen. Dimension size = driver.manage().window().getSize(); // Find swipe start and end point from screen’s with and height. // Find start y point which is at bottom side of screen. int starty = (int) (size.height \* 0.80); // Find end y point which is at top side of screen. int endy = (int) (size.height \* 0.20); // Find horizontal point where you wants to swipe. It is in middle of // screen width. int startx = size.width / 2; ``` // Swipe from Bottom to Top. driver.swipe(startx, starty, startx, endy, 3000); Thread.sleep(2000); } ``` ---

Sorry, but i have not tried for web view but you can use this single line code instead of defining a function and using it .i think there wont be an element without a text defining it, for what that element is . ---
